Overview

The ProvibTech TM0180-05-05-03-10-02 is part of the TM0180 series of eddy current proximity probes, widely used for condition monitoring in turbines, compressors, pumps, and other rotating equipment. It measures static and dynamic distances between the probe tip and the target surface, enabling accurate detection of rotor imbalance, misalignment, shaft cracks, and thrust bearing wear.

This model features a reverse-mount M10×1 thread and a 1.0 m non-armored cable, making it suitable for installations requiring extended reach and flexibility. Its rugged construction ensures reliable operation in harsh industrial environments.

Technical Data

Typical Applications

• Radial vibration monitoring to detect bearing wear and rotor imbalance

• Axial thrust position measurement for identifying thrust bearing degradation

• Shaft radial position monitoring to evaluate rotor stability and alignment

• Eccentricity measurement during turbine startup to detect shaft bow

• Predictive maintenance programs in power generation, oil & gas, and petrochemical industries
